What you will never see in any fashion magazine is just an outfit, laid out as is, and photographed to do no more than show you what you can expect from the upcoming season. Why? Because that is boring and fashion is far from boring. It is one of the most high-energy, dramatic fields you can be part of. Behind the scenes, fashion is electric and it takes its cues from the art world.

Fashion photography is an art form unto itself, but how does art impact the clothes themselves? Designers from Gucci, Prada, and Dolce & Gabbana, to name a few, recently put their fall lines on artistic display and spoke about what inspired each piece.

“Clean lines” is a phrase that was heard a lot.

Clothing has to create a line that your eye can travel along while you’re wearing it. It’s what creates your silhouette. Your body has something to do with the figure you present, sure, but without the right cut, clothing can take an amazing body and diminish it. The same is true for a painting or a photograph. Lines and spatial reasoning have everything to do with whether or not you enjoy what you’re looking at. Designers take the same approach when they cut a gown or any piece of clothing.

Vivid color and texture.

Without these two elements, every painting would resemble an Ansel Adams. Art in any form relies on color and texture to tell its story. So it is with clothing. Color is an easy one. If you hate brown, you won’t buy a brown blouse. If you love red, you’re drawn immediately to the red dress on the rack. The same is true with color combinations and patterns. All your favorite shades of blue can be in an awful swirl up and down a pair of pants and, although they may fit like a glove, you’re not buying. The texture works the same way. You may love maroon, but you’re not buying a maroon piled angora sweater in the summer or a chunky knit sweater…ever again. Compare this to the art that hangs in your home. The color and lines may be the first thing that drew your attention, but put all that on velvet and you’re seeing a whole new painting.

Expression is one of the final modes of appeal in fashion.

This is easily defined in the art world – simply think Van Gogh or Andy Warhol or look inside any indie art installation. You’ll see loads of expression. The expression is best seen in how designers put their outfits and accessories together. Admit it. When you see a well-crafted outfit complete with a hat, scarf, belt, earring, gloves, bag, boots, and makeup that no one would ever wear out of the house, you look twice. And how many times have you bought the manikin’s outfit because it was put together so perfectly? Ten designers can take the same top and it will look completely different on each of their models because of their expression.

So take a stroll through your closet and find the clothes that create a flattering line on your body. Pair them with colors and textures that let you express yourself. You’re a work of art. Your clothes are simply the frosting.

Every day we are faced with a new news report that states we should be eating more of this or less of that in order to maintain our general health. The next day we are presented with a contradictory argument that says that actually, what we were told yesterday is going to kill us.With these constant conflicting ideas in mind, we looked at the big health ideas that are most responsible for the global health ticking time bomb.

1. Misunderstanding Diets

When you diet your metabolism slows down massively, meaning that over time you actually gain weight, which then impacts on your internal organs and bodily functions.

2. Being Slim to be Healthy

Everyone judges how healthy they are by their outside appearance, however, what this does not do is show us where visceral fat is stored. Ensure you watch what you eat, as even the thinnest person can be in grave danger.

3. Vitamin Pills Will Save Us

Whether it is oil and omega-3 supplements because you do not like fish, or protein powder because you cannot stand eggs, may believe that taking vitamins will keep them from any health disasters. The reverse is true, however, as there are additional beneficial minerals in the foods that you then subsequently miss out on.

4. Sat Fats Kill You

The ingredients that are used as replacements for saturated fats in foods are actually more likely to damage your heart than saturated fat itself – so think again!

5. Take Selenium

This is a vital mineral for health and is key to cancer prevention throughout the body. If you live in the US, where their wheat is high in this mineral, then you do not need a supplement.

6. Get Some Sunshine

The skin cancer scaremongers have us believe that we should avoid the sun at all costs. What this does is then make us more likely to become ill due to risks associated with vitamin D deficiencies. Get some sunshine!

7. Eat Fish

We used it as an example earlier, but you really need to eat at least two portions of fish per week to keep body and mind healthy. Again, a supplement does not get the job done, here.

8. Marinade or Slow Cook Red Meats

9. Pregnancy Issues

Pregnancy is often a time when women see their discipline go out of the window and trot out the “eating for two” excuse. Your diet during pregnancy can impact on your child’s lifelong health, so consult a nutritionist and plan accordingly.

10. Use Natural Remedies

Turning to prescription drugs and over the counter, products are making us unhealthier than ever before. Follow a healthy diet and use natural remedies to ailments as much as possible, for a far greater long-term health outlook.

Historically, head lice are one the ailments of childhood that have had almost as many methods of treatments. We`ll share with you how to prevent head lice in the first place and just scratch the surface of the myriad of treatments available for getting rid of those stubborn and annoying creatures.

The Truth About Lice

Lice cannot jump from one child`s head to another, however, they can move from one to another if close in distance – during a hug, for example. Lice are transmitted through any method in which heads touch or are touched by the same thing. That means the transmission of lice can occur through shared combs, hats, towels, pillows, or any other thing that touches one head and then another. Within a classroom of twenty children, it`s difficult to prevent anything or everything from touching the head of an infected child, and this is one factor that makes it so difficult to prevent the spread of lice.

It Gets Even More Frustrating

Once a child comes home with lice, getting rid of the original lice on the child`s head is but a small concern. Now the lice have contaminated the household and by the time you`ve killed lice in one area, they`ve already spread to another. There are many tips and tricks for lice and many help. We`ll recommend just a few to get you started, but keep in mind you can find much more in your own search.

What We Can Recommend

Theirs always the traditional “nit-picking”, which involves actually combing through the hair and removing the lice. This method is often used with other treatments that involve applying things to the hair. Another frustrating factor is that lice, over time, have become immune to every over-the-counter treatment introduced to them. Some recommend Vaseline – applying it to scalp and hair smothers the lice. This treatment is popular with some parents because it doesn`t involve chemicals, although it is difficult to wash out. Another method appearing in our studies involved a mixture of 3 Tbsp.`s of Olive oil and equal 1 tsp. parts of tea tree oil and eucalyptus oil. And of course, there`s always the over-the-counter and prescription treatments. Usually, these methods are used in conjunction with these treatments and repeated over a period of two to three weeks.

The House

You`ll want to “delouse the house” as well. Wash all bed clothing and clothing in hot water and dry with as much heat as possible. Make sure that an uninfected person does the washing. For household furniture and carpet, you`ll want to spray a delousing powder or agent, and then vacuum – steam cleaning is even better. Make sure everything you`ve deloused is kept separate from the infected area or you`ll have to start all over again. My preferred method of dealing with this? Take a vacation. Lice can`t live without a human host for more than three days. You`ll save yourself the work, have a nice getaway, and get rid of those lice once and for all.

Can Salons Spread Infections?

As a frequent salon customer myself, I never gave much thought to everyday things that carry and spread infection, and I never knew just how much risk I was taking by frequenting salons without knowing the risks.

Making a statement is something we all enjoy – go on, admit it’s true! No matter your size, shape, or budget you can use your fashion sense to make whatever statement you choose. You may even be surprised to find that even the most mundane wardrobe has the makings of an eccentric fashionista; you just have to know how to do a little mixing and mismatching.

Eccentricity is fairly easy to achieve – just go crazy and put on the most unexpected combinations you can come up with. Eccentric? Yes. Fashionable? Probably not. You want a balance of both. Here’s how. Start with impact, but limit your statement pieces to two. If you’re long and lean, make form-fitting, ankle or floor length dresses your base. Think prints – flowers, stripes mixed with animal print, and, above all else, plaid. Overlay a faux fur shoulder wrap, a tattered lace jacket or a crocheted skirt. For punk eccentricity, plaid continues to be a must. Kilts never stop making a fashion scene paired with thermal long sleeved shirts and a black concert tee.

Fashionably mismatched has morphed so that the mismatched is considered matching and acceptable when you stay within the same color family. So go ahead and pair up cropped satin pants and a boy shirt in two patterns that once repelled each other in the closet so long as they are from the same color palette.

Rule of thumb when learning to be eccentric: no denim. Denim is for the fearful and the fashion stunted according to eccentrics. Some of the best places to shop: thrift stores and second-hand stores. The best crazy pieces come from the $1.99 rack and who cares if you only wear them once – which you won’t.

Now that you’re off to an eye-offending start, you need your second statement piece. Make this happen with accessories. Small is out. Jewelry should be grotesquely large or in mass quantities – or both. Bangle bracelets that go from wrist to elbow and measure anywhere from two to four inches in width are a good start. Don’t match them. Choose different styles and colored and textures. Limit those to one arm? No way! Of course, earrings need to dangle and bobble as well. Please go for size not weight!

And then there are the hats. Wide brims are back and they are a perfect touch when eccentricity is your goal. The more retro, the better. Choose heavy wool in peach, black and maroon – the colors of yesteryears.

Lastly, your shoes should defy the imagination. This is not difficult in today’s fashion world. Go for chunky boots, sandals, wedge heels and platforms. Don’t shy away from buckles and laces and baubles. More is good. Lace your shoes over colored tights and you’re ready to go. But don’t leave home without the right attitude.

There’s nothing worse than a “well-dressed” woman who can’t hold her head high – that’s why you buy lightweight earrings.

Importance of molybdenum

From all the other nutrients and minerals, the main specific protein is molybdenum which is required in the human body. It helps in the creation of uric acid and in the utilization of iron to the body. It helps to cut down the amino acids that have sulphur in them. The chemical process of copper, magnesium and also calcium is done by this enzyme. It is stored mainly in adrenal glands, kidneys and liver and is found to be taking different attentions in tissues all through the body. There is about 9mg of molybdenum deposited totally in a human body.
